The contributions of pedagogical cooperation to the continuing education of teachers

Abstract

The work of the Pedagogical Coordination in planning the continuing training of teachers is essential for increasing the quality of teaching in schools. It is a permanent process of updating that makes the teacher capable of facing the diversities that arise in daily school life, arising from constant political, social and cultural transformations. In this article, our general objective is to analyze how the Pedagogical Coordination works, seeking to implement continuing teacher training. The continued training of education professionals is a form of professional development, which is already guaranteed by Brazilian legislation, both constitutional and legal. With the professional development of the Pedagogical Coordinator and the teacher through continued training, they are capable of transforming the school environment and improving the theory already ingrained, improving the collective performance of students, in a daily construction process, in which pedagogical practices will be strengthened. Among the various responsibilities of the Pedagogical Coordination in school practice, continuing education arises to provide excellent education for students. The Pedagogical Coordination and teachers must act together, in the debate and definition of priorities that must be worked on and updated. Faced with a scenario of uncertainty and constant changes in social reality, with continuous reflection on the importance of continuing teacher training, we can create alternatives capable of evolving the educational level of our society and basic education.
